What is digital mammography?

The difference between a mammogram and a digital mammogram can be likened to a camera that uses film and one that takes digital photos. Digital mammography is advanced technology that takes digital X-ray pictures of the breast. These digital images provide the radiologist with the clearest pictures in which to look for lumps or masses in the breast. The digital images are ready for review immediately following the mammogram, unlike conventional mammograms when the film had to be developed. The radiologist can even change the contrast of the image to examine any abnormalities.
